About This Service
Mention Changes in Smoke Behavior
Smoke entering the room needs assessment rather than another fire to see whether the problem clears. Describe when it happened and what changed. EPA guidance recognizes regular smoke or smoke odor as a possible problem; cleaning alone should not be presented as a diagnosis.
Discuss Earlier Component Work
A replacement part or previous blockage can be relevant to cleaning access and the reason for the visit. Share available records. Their purpose is to clarify what was installed or reported, not to assume the current chimney condition from a past invoice.
Compare Cleaning and Inspection
The two services can be discussed together but have different purposes. Cleaning addresses deposits within scope; assessment considers condition and limitations. Twin explains each so you can understand what the appointment establishes and which findings might require separate repair work.
Treat Loose Material as a Separate Finding
Material reported in the fireplace may be deposits or may warrant assessment of a component above it. Do not assume that sweeping is the complete repair. Describe what you have already observed, leave suspect parts undisturbed and let the proposed service distinguish cleaning from investigation of the source.
